      Hey there MOZ Geniuses;

      While checking my webmaster data I noticed that almost all my Google impressions are generated by the home page, most other content pages are showing virtually no impression data <50 (the home page is showing around 1500 - a couple of the pages are in the 150-200 range).  the site has been up for about 8 months now.  Traffic on average is about 500 visitors, but I'm seeing very little entry other then the home page.

      • Checking the number Sitemap section 27 of 30 are index
      • Webmaster tools are not reporting errors
      • Webmaster keyword impressions are also extremely low 164 keywords with the highest impression count of 79 and dropping from there.
      • MOZ is show very few minor issues although it says that it crawled 10k pages? -- we only have 30 or so.

      The answer seems obvious, Google is not showing my content ... the question is why and what steps can I take to analyze this?  Could there be a possibility of some type of penalty?

      I welcome all your suggestions:  The site is www.calibersi.com

        Awesome, any thoughts on what I can check or do to see if there are any other potential issues with Google.  I'm a bit concerned that there is a penalty on this site.

          Much better Jack 🙂

          I see only about 50 pages now. Hopefully this will cure some of your issues now.

            Hey Andy;

            Can you rerun the check on the site and see if my fix address the billion page issue?  www.calibersi.com, I added code to block the crawlers from indexing these pages and a redirect to an error page if the count exceeds the available posts.  It should do it but it would be great to get another set of eyes on it 🙂

                  I would look at your Wordpress install first Jack. There is no way this sort of number of pages should be getting generated. Sort that out and you have sorted a huge problem out.

                    I did add the to all these pages to prevent them from being crawled.  That should do the trick right?

                    I'll have to check the software to see why its doing that.

                      Hi Jack,

                      I used Screaming Frog Spider to run the report, which is still going and up to about 9k pages so far.

                        Hey Andy;

                        Thanks for the quick response: That would explain the 10k moz found, what tool did you use to create the attachment?

                        Although, I did add the to all these pages to prevent them from being crawled.

                          I just ran a very quick scan of your site and you have thousands of blog and category pages.

                          There is a chance because of this that you are seeing a penalty - This is just one of the pages: http://www.calibersi.com/category/Vehicle-Graphics?page=1904

                          I would start by having a quick look at how the site / blog is setup and seeing if there is anything glaringly obvious there.

                            Indexed pages

                            Just started a site audit and trying to determine the number of pages on a client site and whether there are more pages being indexed than actually exist. I've used four tools and got four very different answers... Google Search Console: 237 indexed pages Google search using site command: 468 results MOZ site crawl: 1013 unique URLs Screaming Frog: 183 page titles, 187 URIs (note this is a free licence, but should cut off at 500) Can anyone shed any light on why they differ so much? And where lies the truth?

                            Blog Page Titles - Page 1, Page 2 etc.

                            Hi All, I have a couple of crawl errors coming up in MOZ that I am trying to fix. They are duplicate page title issues with my blog area. For example we have a URL of www.ourwebsite.com/blog/page/1 and as we have quite a few blog posts they get put onto another page, example www.ourwebsite.com/blog/page/2 both of these urls have the same heading, title, meta description etc. I was just wondering if this was an actual SEO problem or not and if there is a way to fix it. I am using Wordpress for reference but I can't see anywhere to access the settings of these pages. Thanks

                            Are image pages considered 'thin' content pages?

                            I am currently doing a site audit. The total number of pages on the website are around 400... 187 of them are image pages and coming up as 'zero' word count in Screaming Frog report. I needed to know if they will be considered 'thin' content by search engines? Should I include them as an issue? An answer would be most appreciated.

                            Hi, My question is in reference to an E-commerce site- Our SEO MOZ scan is showing many errors for Duplicates- such as Duplicate titles - The majority of these are on the products map- and the page titles are Products Map :: Company Name How do we get correct this or does Google not penalize for it? Thanks.

                            Hreflang on non-canonical pages

                            Hi! I've been trying to figure out what is the best way to solve this dilemma with duplicate content and multiple languages across domains. 1 product info page 2 same product but GREEN
                            3 same product but RED
                            4 same product but YELLOW **Question: ** Since pages 2,3,4 just varies slightly I use the canonical tag to indicate they are duplicates of page 1. Now I also want to indicate there are other language versions with the_ rel="alternate" hreflang="x" _element. Should I place the _rel="alternate" hreflang="x" _on the canonical page only pointing to the canonical page with "x" language. Should I place the _rel="alternate" hreflang="x" _on all pages pointing to the canonical page with the "x" language? Should I place the _rel="alternate" hreflang="x"  _on all pages and then point it to the translated page (even if it is not a canonical page) ? /Lars
